One of the best spots on the whole island. A real family , living soil small organic style farm. I’ve been to other competitor farms - they are way overcrowded, touristy, and each plant doesn’t get the same love. You’ll notice the difference when you arrive at kahuka farms and even more when you taste the fruit. They treat you like family as soon as you arrive.
I went to school for plant chemistry, so seeing people who really care for the land, soil and plants and actually pull off successful harvests is refreshing to me. It is impressive, because to avoid pests and spraying harmful chemicals takes the highest level of expertise, time and passion. Kahuka farms pulls it off on their beautiful farm. The employees are having fun on the tour, I highly reccomend it. And it’s actually cheap considering the experience and all the fruit and other products they share with you. Seasons and harvesting can change, but on my tour I got papaya , guava, lilikoi, bananas , star fruit, multiple citrus fruit, cocao, several types of chocolate, different drinks, butters, fudges, etc… throughout my tour. The farm was sectioned off into diffeeent areas focused on different crops and seeing each area was amazing. What this place does is amazing, and places like this don’t often survive but it’s expensive to produce fruit without taking short cuts. They also have amazing vegetables and their own kitchen on sight to make a true single source product.
They have a cafe with absolutely outstanding food. I haven’t been able to find good pizza in Hawaii as someone from the east coast. They offer a very unique pizza and it is outstanding. Unlike any pizza I’ve had , it’s in focaccia and includes their own local tomatoes and other ingredients. They are the only place in all of Hawaii with single source acai that they grow and produce - and it’s by far the best I’ve ever had.
I’ve been on this island for about a year and throughly explored 40-50 beaches, 30+ hikes, and dozens of touristy attractions and a lot of low key things as well and can confidently say spending the day on this farm was one of the best, most amazing and memorable days by far. I’m ready to take all of my friends and family when they visit, over and over.
I pray this farm thrives and is around for as long as time allows as this is a true real farm, coming from someone that knows agriculture. No short cuts, just love and passion.
If you’ve made it this far in my review - here is how I’d spend the day.
Go fasted - pretty quickly into the tour they start sharing fruits. And it doesn’t stop. After the tour, go to the cafe and try their focaccia dish but make sure to add avacado. Follow up with acai bowl. If you have multiple people, add the pizza and share the two savory dishes. On the way out, grab some lilikoi butter, Mac nut crumble , and some hot fudge.
The avacados are the best I’ve had in my Life so grab those as well if it makes sense time wise for your...
Read moreKahuku Farms is a true oasis for those seeking a delicious and satisfying meal without pork. My dining companion and I were on a quest to find a restaurant that catered to our dietary restrictions, and we were delighted to finally stumble upon this hidden gem nestled in the idyllic northern tip of Oahu. The location itself is breathtaking and the restaurant's setting is simply beautiful.
As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by the warm and inviting atmosphere, and the menu offerings were truly impressive, with a variety of fresh and flavorful options. The panini was expertly crafted, with a perfect balance of savory and tangy flavors. The salad was a refreshing delight, with crisp greens and a dressing that was so delicious we couldn't resist purchasing a bottle to take home. But the real standout dish was the grilled banana bread which was something truly special, with a perfect balance of sweetness and a hint of smokiness that left us both raving about it.
It was a relief to finally find a restaurant in Oahu that understood the importance of catering to those with dietary restrictions. We felt like we've been on a culinary journey for days and finally found our destination. The food was so delicious, and the service was friendly, it was a true culinary adventure.
Kahuku Farms is a must-visit for anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience. The food is delicious, the location is stunning and the service is friendly. Whether you're a local or a tourist, I highly recommend giving Kahuku Farms a try, you won't be...
Read moreWe did the farm tour with Mika and had a total blast! She had us pick various fruits off trees/vines to try and had a lot of goodies from the farm store for us to sample as well. She was so accommodating about offering to take family photos and was just overall so knowledgeable, friendly and fun! My daughter especially loved our time with her and even asked for a photo with her at the end of the tour. We heard so much about the acai bowl during the tour (because there are so many different things being grown on the farm that are in it) that we had to try it for ourselves! I gotta say I'm not a fan of acai bowls or papaya but the acai and papaya from the farm taste completely different than any I've had elsewhere - both were so delicious that we had to go back for more the next day! Also, the produce prices are soooo affordable! Where else can you get fresh cacao pods - and for only $3?! Unheard of! Their line of lilikoi kitchen products are sooo good. I had to stock up and they will make for amazing souvenirs for friends and family back home! Oh and don't forget that the first 5 acres of the farm are open to the public to just roam and take in the nature and peace and quiet of the north shore. They also have various activities and sports balls around with a beautiful grass field to have fun with your friends and family - kids are running around and having fun while parents can just sit back on a lawn chair and enjoy their...
